[原文] W: Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we have invited Prof Stone to talk about the role of elderly people
in our society. Welcome to our show, Prof. Stone,
M: To begin with, I'd like to tell a story from my own life. Several years ago, when my grandparents were well into
their 80s, they were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only
home they had known for the past 60years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home
was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them, and many oldAmericans can mean not
only the possible failure of one's health, but the loss of identity and self-worth.
W: Ycs, it's true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age?
M: Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care, and the development of public
services for senior citizens. Today, I'd like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles that elderly can play and
should play in our society.

[原文] W: Talking about personal relationships. Well, I'd naturally think of my relationship with my mother.
Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as
I'm confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we
were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything
she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I
respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She gives me the freedom to make
mistakes and to learn from them all. Unlike friendships that can fade or break, I know I'll always be connected to
my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but somcone I love.

Mike Shepherd(2011)
Skiddaw in Winter
Cumbria, England
It was an extremely cold winter's evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black—and—white image（图像）.
Timothy Smith(2014)
Macclesfield Forest
Cheshire, England
I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe. a local high point, I came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest.

Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding (繁育) programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf (犀牛幼崽). When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity (圈养).
Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we're all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She's healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It's still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg. His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.
4. Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?
A. Costly. B. Controversial. C. Ambitious. D. Successful.
5. What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino?
A. She loves staying with her mother. B. She dislikes outdoor activities.
C. She is in good condition D. She is sensitive to heat.
6. What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?
A. They had their first born in January. B. They enjoyed exploring new places
C. They lived with their grandmothers. D. They were brought to the reserve young
7. What can be inferred about Porn Lympne Reserve?
A. The rhino section will be open to the public.
B. It aims to control the number of the animals.
C. It will continue to work with the World Wildlife Fund.
D. Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.
[答案]4.D 5.C 6.A 7. D .

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, be
